Thief in the Water is the third studio single from Alan Cox, featuring a fusion of Hard Rock, Singer-Songwriter, and Folk genres to create something truly unique and intriguing. The song is based on a pulitzer prize winning photo from the 1950s which shows parents embracing on a beach just moments after realizing their baby had wandered into the ocean.
The song, while not explicitly spiritual, can also point to the metaphor of a "thief in the water" being similar to living in the world as a Christian. The Bible says the devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy, and we need to stay close to the Father at all times, being on guard against any attack of the enemy. The song is a cathartic blend of emotions, with a raw mix of a hard rock base with acoustic guitar, organ, and haunting background vocals.
